A collection of stories all set in pubs. All series and characters likely to feature. Rating, series, spoilers and characters listed at the beginning of each chapter.

Malcolm, Ruth and Harry. Oh dear. This story is told from Malcolm's point of view; it follows the series, but events diverge considerably therefrom, as will be seen. Disclaimer- I don't own Spooks or the characters, Kudos/BBC does - if I did, there might have been a story arc like this!

Post 10.6. Harry has returned to the Grid trying to cope with the death of Ruth. Then his personal life again intrudes ...can he cope with yet more potential loss? H/R shippers don't hate me. Copyright of whatever was created by BBC/Kudos is theirs, otherwise what was created by me is mine.

Settled in Cyprus, Ruth thinks her life is just about back on track. Until, that is, an excavation brings a ghost from her past rolling into town. Meanwhile, back in London, Harry spots an opportunity for revenge, and Lucas North, newly returned from Russia, struggles to pick up the pieces. A mission from Harry, with alongside his 'difficult' new boss, will change everything.

"If she, the spinster, follows the instructions perfectly, she'll dream of the man she's destine to marry." Lying the parchment on the bed, she tucks her hands under the cushion and closes her eyes, settling in for the night. "Well, it doesn't hurt anything to try, does it?" - Day 1 of 25 - if there was a silly fluff category, this would fit into it.

AU fluff. Ruth has a secret.

Set after 5.5; in honor of Sir Harry's birthday; a one shot. The full body fatigue and mental weariness wears heavy on her as Ruth slowly trudges down the hospital corridor. It has been a long time since she has felt like this; two years if she's willing to let herself think of that time.

Harry's back at work and Ruth and Nico are now living with him. I originally intended this to be a multi-chapter fic, but it's turned out to be a one-shot. M-rated sequel to Hope Springs as promised (it really makes much more sense if you read that story first). All characters are borrowed from Kudos. Thanks for reading and please review if you have a moment.

When Ruth wakes up in Harry's bed after the office Christmas party is it a disaster, a cause for celebration or a blessing in disguise? AU story with characters from season 8, loosely following the plot from that series and beyond, but mostly containing Christmas fluff with a little angst thrown in for good measure. Reviews are always appreciated.

An alternative season 10, set in December 2011. Harry is saved from the tribunal to face a new threat to the service. To do so, however, he must face up to a few ghosts from his past. Rated T, with some Christmas team bonding and a healthy dose of H/R. NOW COMPLETE

Written before season 10 aired, when Gaddafi was still in control of Libya. The Foreign Secretary wants Harry to utilise his past connections to influence events in Libya but Harry is sceptical of success. Instead he puts his own operation in place with Ruth's help. Things don't go quite as planned, and he and Ruth are forced to enter enemy territory. Will they both get out alive?

Written shortly after season 9 aired, and featuring the team as we knew it in 9.8. A bit of Harry/Ruth fun to atone for the dark subject matter of the previous story. There is a plot if you look really hard, but it's just an excuse to have some fun with them. Harry and Ruth must go undercover together; will this bring them closer together or drive them further apart?

Ruth heading home for the weekend. Post 10 AU.

Ruth and Harry try to balance work and their new relationship amidst the chaos of the Grid. Set post9 AU.

Alternate Universe. It is 1944 and Britain is at war with Germany. Plans for the Allied landings in France have been laid, but when these plans threaten to fall into the hands of the enemy, who will Prime Minister Churchill turn to?

A suggestion on what may have happened when Tom Quinn visited Mikhail Levrov. Kudos/BBC own what is theirs.

How did Tom become involved in the assassination of the Russian Levrov at the end of season 10? For AC from the SF, who provided the prompt.

It's not easy, sleeping with the Head of Section D... AU Harry/Ruth fluff.

An alternative ending to episode 10.6.

Set post 5x05. Jo takes a holiday to Cyprus to visit her cousin. Whilst there she makes some enlightening discoveries. Eventual Harry/Ruth.
